Yet, during a recent concert, when Jimin was struggling, the cameramen went straight to the idol to record him, even though he asked them not to film.
I think this was the first time Jimin ever shooed the cameraman away. He always gives 100%, even when he’s exhausted. It’s kind of crazy that they rarely film him or put him on the big screen while he’s performing, but the moment he tries to take a quick rest, the camera is… https://t.co/dxeemUJaW2

It sparked major anger among netizens who were frustrated at the cameras throughout the show. They added that while Jimin has always given his 100% throughout each show, singing, dancing, and interacting with crowds, it’s only when he is struggling that the cameras decide to film him.
hybe’s camera direction has been unbelievably frustrating this entire tour. jimin spends the whole concert dancing, singing, interacting with fans yet he’s barely shown on the big screens. but the one moment he asks not to be filmed is the moment they put him on the big screen?…

When they were supposed to film him, they never did. But when Jimin wasn’t feeling well and just wanted some space, they showed up with cameras. The AUDACITY pic.twitter.com/2gxLEC4ZOX
